Auction process is reportedly underway to find a buyer for Silicon Valley Bank

A sign is posted in front of the Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) headquarters on March 10, 2023 in Santa Clara, California. Justin Sullivan | Getty Images Federal regulators are conducting an auction for Silicon Valley Bank, with final bids due Sunday, according to a report from Bloomberg News. The bank was closed by regulators on Friday after massive withdrawals a day earlier created a bank run. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation took control of the bank on Friday, and started an auction process on Saturday night, according to the report . It is still possible that no deal is reached, the report said. The collapse of SVB, which was a key player in the technology start-up world, is the largest U.S. bank failure since Washington Mutual in 2008. That bank was then purchased by JPMorgan Chase in a deal that restored the uninsured deposits. A total or partial acquisition by another bank is one of the options regulators are exploring this weekend. Many investors on Wall Street and Silic...

Executives at ‘fintechs’ made hundreds of millions handing out PPP Covid cash, report says

A couple who founded an Arizona-based financial technology firm in the early days of the pandemic raked in an estimated $120 million in processing fees from handing out billions in Paycheck Protection Program loans even though their company did little to police fraud, according to a congressional report released Thursday. The report from the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis says the “fintech” firm Blueacorn transferred $300 million in profit to its owners but spent less than 1 percent of the fees it collected on fraud prevention, hiring only “one direct employee who assisted with processing PPP loan applications” for the 1.7 million loans it reviewed. At the same time, even though the program was meant to help small businesses survive the pandemic, the report says smaller loan applicants were disdained by Blueacorn, with staff writing, “delete them,” “Who f------ cares” and, “we’re not the first bank to decline borrowers who deserve to be funded. … they go elsewhere.” In a...
